WRITES FOR HIS MAIL BUT
FORGETS TO SIGN HIS NAME
All sorts of curious questions and
Impossible directions are received at the
postofflce every day. Borne people are
such poor writers that It takes an ex
pert to decipher what they mean. Oth
ers are careless or forgetful and In
writing directions to the postmaster tell
where their mail should be forwarded
and then neglect to sign their names.
For Instance; Some one at 817 Main
street, Seattle. Is wondering what in
the world is the matter with the Port
land postofflce clerks and why In thun-
deration his mall has never been sent
as he thought he directed by pfostal
card.
Here's the answer: The person who
ever it Is at 17 Main street, Seattle,
who wants his mall sent from Portland
wrote a postal giving his address and
then failed to sign his name.
He probably Imagines that he Is so
well known that the postmaster will rec
ognise the handwriting, but he Isn't,
and so letters for the "917" man are
still being held at -the postofflce, gen
eral delivery.
